Hi

anyone has feedback on montessori for children at Mountbatten? or twinkle stars montessori at marine parade?
Understand that the former require students to b toilet-trained but my son (coming 3 this sept) isn’t exactly well-trained yet so I’m still hesitant to enrol him.
My queries are:
1. Are the teachers gd n patient there?
2. Do these 2 schools prepare kids well enough for them to proceed to p1 academically? Do we need to send them for additional enrichment classes?
3. How abt the Chinese standards?
4. I read Montessori provide almost 1 to 1 attention. But given the class size of abt 15 students to 2 teachers n 3 hrs daily class, is the 1-1 attention really possible? Or does it mean on certain days my kid may not get any attention? Or is it my kid will only get few min of personal attention daily since the teacher’s time is split among the students?

Sorry I’m alittle confused over how the teacher segregate their time n how the classes r conducted.

Hi

anyone send the kids to montessori chinese enrichment class? what’s the diff b/w montessori chinese and other chinese enrichment class e.g. berries?

[mumtotots]

I don't think there are any MOntessori Chinese. I would reckon that they may use MOntessori principals and package it as MOntessori enrichment so that parents may buy the idea

looking to switch my 4 year old boy to montessori but getting very confused by the difference…


prefer some place near cck if possible.

after reading thru all i seem to have a rough idea but seems like all the montessoris are under different group like franchise & stuff & kinda difficult to find some webby or maybe not all have webby?

got a few recommendations from buds so will probably check those out first...all i can say is i've got loads of homework & research to do...
